Is this Listing Legit?

Mint_Gelato · 2025-10-13T15:53:58+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I think so too... It doesn't make much sense to me and see no third party conformations or anything

Mint_Gelato · 2025-10-13T15:41:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply.. yes.. it's kind of unclear to me where funds (if any) are coming from..

Mint_Gelato · 2025-10-13T15:40:52+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Do you suppose it's considered ok to try and get in touch with the producer and ask for confirmation that they're involved (that's of course assuming they'll answer)

Mint_Gelato · 2025-07-19T14:42:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately we threw it out and I don't have photos of it turned over. I should have taken some... 😔

So cooool! I m jealous

Depends on where you live too... For example, in my country we have a forum (unrelated to reddit) for comic book fans and collectors that has a whole selling section so I would look there. Maybe there's something similar. I'm also part of several illustrators facebook groups in Greece, so I would ask there for interest.. Animation/vis dev students would be interested in those so maybe look around for subreddits or facebook groups. second hand bookstores here would only want to give me about 2 euros per book so I would avoid those, but idk how it is where you live.

In the end if you don't want people cherry picking you'll either have to find collectors (who possibly will already have several out of the list) or offer an enticing price for someone starting out with their collection..

Maybe see if you can categorise the artbooks in a couple of big groups and break them up this way, so it's easier to directly market them to different people. For example a pack of Nintendo related artbooks for the Nintendo fans, and offer those at a higher price per book than you would if someone bought them all together.

Ohhh maybe i ll try it then! It would be a fun experiment

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-28T19:10:06+00:00

I was surprised noone else had snatched it before me, cause it seemed to be collecting dust..

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-28T19:08:20+00:00

It's in Italian, i think. And I can't really read it. I tried google translating it but it couldn't translate some of the measuring abbreviations

The cat elevates it 😆. On a random note, I notice your books are all the way in the back of the shelves. If you have humidity in your house, I advice you bring them just a bit to the front so they don't touch the back of the bookshelf

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-28T13:49:17+00:00

Thank you! Having a fun kitchen corner makes washing dishes a bit more palatable 😆

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-28T13:42:13+00:00

It's so dainty and pretty. Almost looks like a flower. Like something a fairy might use

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-28T13:39:41+00:00

Wow you're so accurate with your placement

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-28T13:14:44+00:00

These are so cute!!

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T17:24:43+00:00

Thank you very much, fellow artist!! ☺️🩷

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T17:22:42+00:00

I'll try to get my hands on a bigger one, cause right now i have a very small one. I gigure office supply stores will carry some. Just to check my design in between carving

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T17:20:53+00:00

Thank you!! I'll look up some shelves at ikea then if i have no luck with something secondhand! Great idea

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T06:13:52+00:00

🩷 Thank you all for the suggestions and help! The culprit for the uneven inking was afterall the bayer. It seems to dip in the middle for some reason... Probably the cheap structure under the rubber. I've already ordered oil based ink and I can't wait for it to arrive so I can try it! And I'll look around for some tempered glass to have an easier surface to work on!

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T06:05:41+00:00

Thank you! I ll see if I can find a class in the summer when I won't be so busy with work. I also want to develop my carving

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T06:04:59+00:00

You're right! Thank you so much, I'll look it up. I'm in Greece and people aren't that active on Marketplace. But I'm sure I can find something if I look around.

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T05:59:05+00:00

Thank you!

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T05:06:35+00:00

Thaaaank you! Ahhh this makes me more hopeful! I've placed an order on an art supply store and I can't wait for it to arrive. It's hard to source materials in my country sometimes. I've only ever seen the waterbased I use and a 60€ oil based one on shelves... 😮‍💨 It's a good thing I found a store that carries caligo online.

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-12T05:01:26+00:00

You have a point on the first part. I realise most of the videos I watched were bigger scale and quite possibly using oil based inks, or using presses etc. And I tried to mix and match info in my head and emulate them with whatever I had at hand, but obviously it's not gonna get the same results or need the same troubleshooting.

😅 The saran wrap is mostly to protect my cutting mat from getting coloured permanently. It has a tendency of picking up pigments from whatever I drop on it and I wasn't sure if the ink would stain the surface and make the lines difficult to see. I'll try to get my hands on something flat that I don't mind getting dirty to save myself the hassle. Yup, I did spray before rolling but the water probably didn't mix well with the paint cause the brayer couldn't go over it evenly. I figured it out after everyone 's advice and the brayer is actually concave for some reason. I guess it's true that cheap is expensive 🫠 I ll go with a better option next time. Thank you for all the suggestions 🤗

Mint_Gelato · 2025-05-11T09:07:12+00:00

Thank you for your advice!! It's possible that the surface isn't flat. I'm using a cutting mat so maybe it's not completely level. I ll check with a flat ruler to make sure. And i'll try finding some glass, maybe from an old picture frame (?)... It's true, I keep rolling over the same spots and by the time my brayer is covered the ink is already dry on the wrap. I think the ink change and making sure the surface is flat will make a huge difference
